Revolver with ammunition clip

ABSTRACT

A revolver that has a cylinder that is capable of receiving a cylinder clip so that multiple cylinder clips can be used to quickly reload the revolver.

RELATED APPLICATIONS

This patent application claims priority from provisional patentapplication No. 61/521,324, having a filing date of Aug. 8, 2011.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to a revolver handgun that has an interchangeableammunition clip for quick reloading of the bullets in the cylinder.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Revolvers are generally more reliable than non-revolver handguns, whichare commonly called semi-automatic or automatic pistols, which useammunition from a magazine. Both the semi-automatic and automatic willbe referred to herein as a “semi-automatic.”

However the average revolver holds less ammunition in its cylinder thena semi's magazine.

The pivoting part that supports the cylinder is the crane. The bullet ishoused in the chamber of the cylinder before firing. After firing thejacket of the bullet is retained in the chamber, and then discharged,usually from the rear.

Typically with revolvers, the cylinder is mounted on a pivot that iscoaxial with the chambers, and the cylinder swings out and down, usuallyto the left. An extractor is fitted, operated by a rod projecting fromthe front of the cylinder assembly. When pressed, it will push all firedrounds free simultaneously. The cylinder may then be loaded, singly oragain with a speedloader, closed, and latched in place for firing.

What is needed is a revolver that can be reloaded quicker than using thespeedloader or by inserting individual bullets into the cylinder.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

One aspect of the present invention is a revolver with an ammunitionclip, comprising a cylinder that is capable of easily and quicklyreceiving and replacing cylinder clips to enable the revolver handler toquickly reload the revolver.

These and other features, aspects and advantages of the presentinvention will become better understood with reference to the followingdrawings, description and claims.

The following detailed description is of the best currently contemplatedmodes of carrying out the invention. The description is not to be takenin a limiting sense, but is made merely for the purpose of illustratingthe general principles of the invention, since the scope of theinvention is best defined by the appended claims.

Certain terminology will be used in the following description forconvenience and reference only, and will not be limiting. For example,the words “upwardly,” “downwardly,” “rightwardly,” and “leftwardly” willrefer to directions in the drawings to which reference is made. Thewords “inwardly” and “outwardly” will refer to directions toward andaway from, respectively, the geometric center of the system anddesignated parts. Said terminology will include the words specificallymentioned, derivatives, and similar words. Also, “connected to,”“secured to,” or similar language includes the definitions “indirectlyconnected to,” “directly connected to,” “indirectly secured to,” and“directly secured to.”

FIG. 1 illustrates one embodiment of the present invention 10, referredto herein as a revolver with ammunition clip 10. The revolver withammunition clip 10 may appear as a standard revolver.

FIG. 2 illustrates one embodiment of the present invention 10. In oneembodiment the cylinder with ammunition clip 10 may have a cylinder 50that is capable of receiving an ammunition clip 30. The ammunition clip30 is capable of receiving ammunition or bullets 40. A retaining means60 may fasten on a cylinder clip's rear side 80 to prevent the bullets40 from falling out the rear side 80. The retaining means 60 may beremovably secured to the clip rear side 80.

In one embodiment, the retaining means 60 is threadably engaged with theclip rear side 80, so, for example, it can be rotated clockwise to beplaced on the clip rear side 80, and rotated counterclockwise to beremoved from the clip rear side 80.

In another embodiment, as seen in FIG. 3, the clip rear side 80 may havea tab 90 extending forwardly from an edge 100. The retaining means 60may have an inwardly extending member 110, so that the retaining means60 can be placed on the clip rear side 80, and the inwardly extendingmembers 110 can be positioned forwardly and in contact with the tabs 90so that the retaining means 60 may be removably secured to the cylinderclip 30. Other means of having the retaining means 60 removably securedto the clip rear side may be magnetism or the use of magnets.

FIG. 3 also illustrates an embodiment of the bullets 40, and anembodiment of a discharge means 70.

FIG. 4 illustrates a sectional view, showing the cylinder clip 30removably disposed within the cylinder 50.

In operation, after the ammunition is used, then the cylinder 50 can beopened, and the ammunition clip or cylinder clip 30 can be quicklyreplaced with a new cylinder clip 30 with new ammunition inside.

It should be understood, of course, that the foregoing relates toexemplary embodiments of the invention and that modifications may bemade without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as setforth in the following claims.

The present invention may be made from a variety of materials, which mayinclude, but not be limited to a composite, metallic, or metal.

1. A revolver with ammunition clip (10), comprising: a cylinder (50)capable of receiving a cylinder clip (30); said cylinder clip (30)capable of receiving bullets (40); said cylinder clip (30) having a cliprear side (80); said clip rear side (80) capable of having a retainingmeans (60) removably attached thereto.
 2. The apparatus of claim 1,further comprising: a tab (90) extending forwardly from an edge (100);an inwardly extending member (110) that extends inwardly from saidretaining means (60), whereby said inwardly extending (110) member is inremovable engagement with said tab (90).
 3. The apparatus of claim 1,wherein said ammunition clip (10) is comprised of a composite material.4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said ammunition clip (10) iscomprised of a metal material.
